Chemical Modification of a Membrane Protein by Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Labeling Reagents

The major transmembrane protein of the erythrocyte membrane — band 3 — has been chosen as an example of an integral membrane protein. This polypeptide is known to be involved in anion transport and has therefo...

Charge clusters and the orientation of membrane proteins

Although hydrophobic forces probably dominate in determining whether or not a protein will insert into a membrane, recent studies in our laboratory suggest that electrostatic forces may influence the final ori...

Can viral envelope proteins act as or induce proton channels?

The mechanism of the process leading to cell-cell fusion induced by enveloped viruses at a mildly acidic pH is as yet unknown. In this report we demonstrate that the fusion events induced by three viruses of d...

Dynamic changes in plasma membrane properties of semliki forest virus infected cells related to cell fusion

The mechanism of the processes leading to membrane fusion is as yet unknown. In this report we demonstrate that changes in membrane potential and potassium fluxes correlate with Semliki Forest virus induced ce...
